THERE'S BEEN TALK OF US

Hi, I'm Annie!

I believe in the ability of food to transport us, inspire us, and produce joy from the inside out.

Before moving back home to the Northwest, I worked as a Graphic Artist in New York City for almost a decade. It was there that I really learned to eat—and to appreciate the local fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, and dairy products brought to the city from the Hudson Valley.

For a year, I dedicated myself to eating seasonally and locally—introducing myself to foods I'd never seen before by trying to cook them myself. For the first time ever, I understood what it meant to eat with the seasons. I discovered that when my diet followed the seasons, I was more connected to my food and my place. I realized fully the delicious difference between what is grown with care, and what is grown at mass scale.

Back home in the Northwest, I've been inspired to explore what our community farmers can offer, and how those foods can be translated into joyful experiences through ice cream. I started Sweet Annie's Artisan Creamery to have a delicious adventure, and I sincerely hope you'll join me!
